Did you know that plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters are called microplastics?
These plastic fragments usually come from larger plastic items that have turned brittle and broken apart in the natural environment.
At our recent Community Cleanup in Boca Raton, Florida, we found so much microplastic that we couldn’t count all the pieces by hand.
How much microplastic would you guess is in this photo?
